Do you think it’s OK that your girlfriend or boyfriend still hangs out with their ex? Do you feel insecure or jealous when they talk and hang out. Of course it’s normal to feel like this. Some people say it doesn’t bother them, maybe it’s true to an extent but deep down inside it does a little bit. It’s human nature to feel like this, especially when there ex is drop dead gorgeous, it doesn’t help either. Just like anything else in life, there has to be trust but that trust has to be earned. You partner needs to prove to you that there’s no reason to worry and you are the one they’re with. In the same token you also have to put yourselves in your partners shoes and ask yourself the exact same question. If I was hanging out with my ex would my girlfriend/boyfriend be jealous and would he/she like it. Again everyone is different and handles situations differently. Other circumstances also come into play like how long your girlfriend/boyfriend and ex went out for, how did their relationship end, who ended it between the both of them, is the ex in a relationship with someone right now?. If they went out for years, almost got married, the ex ended the relationship because they weren’t attracted to your girlfriend/boyfriend anymore and they just broke up and you got together right after. If they’re hanging out and talking all the time, then this situation is a whole different story.

What I’m really trying to say is you know and can feel when your girlfriend/boyfriend has moved on from their past relationship and are just truly friends. I know sometimes it’s hard to accept but you need stop feeling insecure start trusting your partner and be more accepting of the friendships/relationships of your girlfriend/boyfriend has with their ex’s and even the opposite sex. You wouldn’t want to have to cut off your ex’s or friends you have from the opposite sex from your life because your partner asked you too because they were insecure and didn’t trust you, would you? If you start to feel jealous, reverse the roles and put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself the same question ? Hopefully you’ll stop feeling jealous and start being more secure about yourself and your relationship with your partner.
